Premise DVD changer that works with premise msense?

[etc6849]

I was wondering if anyone had a dvd changer working that msense also recognized? Is it possible to show album covers too? Is there a DVD changer that offers two way communication and is affordable?

There is an old module on the subject I found here:

There is also a module for a sony dvd changer found here (although the sony looks to be one way communication):

I don't own a DVD changer yet, so please suggest any that you would recommend using with Premise.

The Sony CX777ES changer is two way serial communications.
But, it doesn't support coverart natively.
The software (like MainLobby / CQC) gets the DVD's metadata and then looks up the coverart from the web. The file path to the coverart image and DVD metadata is then stored in a database. The software then displays the coverart on the PC.

The cx77es is the only model that I am aware of that most software packages use. It is one of the few units that is fairly inexpensive and had OK serial communication (although it does have it's issue - like Dead on Off, etc).

That being said, Sony is suppose to be coming out with a new 400 dish BD DVD changer. It will even have serial control. Of course pricing is estimated to be around $2500 initially. B)
